Default Barrett Jackson 2023 - Thoughts/Opinions?
I watched the auction on TV and here are my observations, just wondering how they compare to others:

- BJ seems to be losing some of its Sizzle?
- Charity cars didn't bring as big $
- don't seem to have the crazy back and forth bidding battles of the past
- No sign of high rollers Rick Hendrick or John Staluppi
- the top car of the auction was less than the top car at Mecum Kissimmee
- trucks/SUV's bringing absolute stupid $
- Late 70's Trans Ams selling for insane $
- lost commentator Chris Jacobs to Mecum
- NO SIGN OF CHARLIE LILLARD EITHER?

I went to BJ Scottsdale about 10 years ago and want to go back but not sure it still has the same energy?

Look forward to the opinions of others.

Losing Chris Jacbos is a win for BJ, and a liability for Mecum IMHO. Seems to spout nothing but white noise. There again, I can't much stand April Rose either......

I actually find April Rose to do a good job of rhyming off car specs. Christy Lee was good as well. They brought in a couple other women that really seemed out of their element trying to talk cars.

April reads off of a cue card.

I figured she must, but I have never caught any sign of it when watching on television.

I thought Steve knew his stuff, until I see this glorious blunder.

Would have made a perfect April Fool's video. I couldn't believe it either.

look for any junker chev pickups from 1967-1987 to be worth a fortune now, absolutely crazy $$$ for pickups, blazers and bronco's, what would you rather have, a yenko nova, camaro, chevelle or a bronco or blazer with 22" rims?
